Annual Pass Expiry Date Extension Policy

The validity period of a Shanghai Disneyland Annual Pass will be extended for the number of lost days falling between the park’s closure date of January 25, 2020 and the end of the “Advanced Reservation Period.” A Shanghai Disneyland Annual Pass that expired before January 25, 2020 or that was purchased after the end of the “Advanced Reservation Period” will not be extended.

Totally reasonable.

What is the advanced reservation period?

What is the advanced reservation period?

It’s the period of time that you have to make a reservation in order to attend the park. They do not know how long it will last.

Can APs still go during the advanced reservation period?

Can APs still go during the advanced reservation period?

According to the site, yes. But they must also make a reservation.
"Annual Pass holders must make a reservation for their visit date and time through Shanghai Disney Resort’s official online channels before their visit to the park."
So it sounds like a good deal. They won't start their "extension" until after the "reservation" period, but in the meantime they have a shot at getting a few "bonus" visits.

I’m hoping the Advanced Reservation period at Disneyland and DCA end around September.
